FEATURES
• Read MIFARE Classic tags
• Save and edit the tag data you read
• Write to MIFARE Classic tags (block-wise)
• Clone MIFARE Classic tags
(Write dump of a tag to another tag; write 'dump-wise')
• Key management based on dictionary-attack
(Write the keys you know in a file (dictionary).
MCT will try to authenticate with these
keys against all sectors and read as much as possible.)
• Format a tag back to the factory/delivery state
• Write the manufacturer block of special MIFARE Classic tags
• Create, edit and save key files (dictionaries)
• Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Value Blocks
• Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Access Conditions
• Compare dumps (Diff Tool)
• Display generic tag information
• Display the tag data as highlighted hex
• Display the tag data as 7-Bit US-ASCII
• Display the MIFARE Classic Access Conditions as a table
• Display MIFARE Classic Value Blocks as integer
• In-App (offline) help and information
• It's open source (GPLv3) ;)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Some important things are:
• The features this tool provides are very basic. There are no such
fancy things like saving a URL to an RFID-Tag with a nice looking
graphical user interface. If you want so save things on a tag,
you have to input the raw hexadecimal data.
• This App can NOT crack/hack
any MIFARE Classic keys. If you want to read/write an RFID-Tag, you
need keys for this specific tag first. For additional information
please read/see Getting Started from the links section.
• There will be no "brute-force" attack
capability in this application. It is way too slow due
to the protocol.
• The first block of the first sector of an original
MIFARE Classic tag is read-only i.e. not writable. But there
are special MIFARE Classic tags that support writing to the
manufacturer block with a simple write command. This App is able to
write to such tags and can therefore create fully correct clones.
However, some special tags require a special command sequence
to put them into the state where writing to the manufacturer block is possible.
These tags will not work.
Remember this when you are shopping for special tags!
• This app will NOT work on some devices because
their hardware (NFC-controller) does not support MIFARE Classic
( https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool/issues/1 ).

Works as described. Although I'm not sure why mfoc and mfcuk functions are not implemented? Are there differences between mobile and dedicated readers?

It isn't in the list of incompatible phones, not sure what's the problem with this, either Lollipop OS or the reader itself? If so does it means my phone will never be able to write on mifare classic 1k? Otherwise it's a simple to use app.

Would like to be able to save key mappings to make it faster on known cards. How to disable the app from starting each time a card is in range?

I know this is only for mifare tags, but it would be nice if it detected other tags which do not need a key to be read and dumped. The only problem with this app is that there are too many toast messages on the read section, and it gets annoying sometimes. It would be better if all toast messages are directed into a console window which appears instead of password file chooser after clicking the map tags button. All in all its a great app.

Tried writing to a sector 0 writable card using a HTC one. Unfortunately this fails, maybe incompatible card. Could you recommend any cards you have succesfully tested?

This is the simpliest mifare app I've found to work with.
by S####:
At first it works fine. I can read/write data then all of a sudden when l tried to increment value... It says 'No valid key found in chosen key file'. Then after that when I try to read or clone from dump it always shows the same message.
